On Dec 22 and 23, Roberts in Bradford (go to the Post Office and follow the road down around back) is having “Make an Offer” days to help the needy have a good holiday. Don’t forget to go there and see what he has to make your holiday bright!

From now through New Year’s, celebrate the holidays at STAR CAT BOOKS with savings! Buy $20 or more of used books, and with the bag of books you’ll save 10% on your purchase. We’ll throw in a special die-cast pin of a cat for you!

We have a fundraiser going on Facebook, as well as the ability to donate here (note the DONATE button on the right side of our front page — there is also a text link if the button doesn’t work in your browser).

The Facebook fundraiser is at this link — we appreciate anything you can contribute to keep us running in this economic clime, plus the current small business climate in our small town (several stores empty now) and a slow summer and fall. We are doing really well so far this holiday season, and that along with the fundraiser should put us into winter pretty well.

We *will* be holding our usual winter auction of signed books to get us through the bleak Vermont season, but this year we’re doing it with a twist: instead of just Neil Gaiman books, we’ll be bringing you signed books from famous authors of all different genres. A little bit for EVERYONE! Watch this space for announcements as we get closer to running the auction.
